Share your experience: Global survey on participation in scientific organizations | DDL 5 August

17 July 2025

The International Science Council, the InterAcademy Partnership, and the Standing Committee for Gender Equality in Science invite all scientists engaged in scientific organizations (academies, young academies, unions, societies, research councils, associations) to take part in a global survey.

The survey explores how scientists participate in these organizations — including access, roles, leadership pathways, perceived benefits and barriers, organizational culture, inclusion, policies, recognition, and experiences of discrimination.

The results will inform evidence-based recommendations to help make scientific communities more inclusive and equitable.
